Coast Guard Auxiliary Reports
By Carolyn Brown Treadon
Thank you to Duane Treadon for submitting the following article.
Over the weekend the Flotilla held its monthly meeting. The big talk of the meeting is the Flotilla’s participating in the upcoming FSU military appreciation day being held November 19th before the game. Member Tim Ashley has been working with USCG Station Panama City and USCG recruiters based out of Mobile.
Station Panama City will be sending over one of their fast response vessels and crew for a static display. The vessel will be trailered over with a crew of three. The recruiters will set up an information station and talk about the Coast Guard and Coast Guard life.
Our Flotilla will have a station and provided information about the Auxiliary as well as safe boating. In addition to the information, those attending can expect some interaction by throwing a heaving line and learning nautical knots. There will be something for everyone! We hope you will come out and say hi.
Thanks to Sherrie, we will always remember safe boating is no accident.
